Ben Sira 25:21 In-Context

19 Any iniquity is insignificant compared to a wife's iniquity; may a sinner's lot befall her!
20 A sandy ascent for the feet of the aged -- such is a garrulous wife for a quiet husband.
21 Do not be ensnared by a woman's beauty, and do not desire a woman for her possessions.
22 There is wrath and impudence and great disgrace when a wife supports her husband.
23 A dejected mind, a gloomy face, and a wounded heart are caused by an evil wife. Drooping hands and weak knees are caused by the wife who does not make her husband happy.
